      <description><![CDATA[The US and Iran have agreed on a peace deal. What could this mean for food and beverage? Food prices are unlikely to fall straight away, due to long-term contracts taking a long time to filter through the supply chain. However, for some classes of commodities, such as palm and soybean oils (which are used for biofuels), prices could fall more quickly. The prices for plastics used for food packaging may fall more quickly than food as well. ]]></description>
